CIV_Horn says:

CEO_Bodine says:
CIV: Very excellent idea sir. EMP would be helpful. but what is the range on the remote you installed commander can we beat safe distance and still operate the craft?

CIV_Horn says:

FCO_Vince says:
#Bridge:  Everyone, remember, stay in formation and protect the shuttle until the moment the Scorpius signals to veer off.  R_TO:  Have those weapons ready, of course.  R_OPS:  Prepare the tractor beam, in case we have an opportunity to use it as well.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: The shuttle is a go.

CIV_Horn says:
CEO: Let me know when we are within a minute of contact.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>*CO*: Sir, she is suffered the most of your telepathic crew from a psionic shock when the Cyclone was destroyed. She needs rest and mediation...and that is my prescription for her

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Launch the shuttle and position it right behind the fleet.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
$::Orders all shields and weapons to maximum power::

CIV_Horn says:
CO: The shuttle is in place.

*OPS*: The doctor said he's having off a few days.  How are you actually feeling?

CEO_Bodine says:

CIV_Horn says:
CEO: I have them both set to the same timer.

OPS-Anari says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Can you work?

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: I have been released to quarters by Doctor Sopok. You'll have to confer with him.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
$Ts_CTO/TsFCO:  I want the two of you to bring up information from the ships computers about the "Picard" Maneuver.  What I want from you two is this.....Prepare for the warp jump just as we fire a spread of torpedoes.  As we drop out of sudden warp, I want another spread of torpedoes fired.  My hope is that this will catch the enemy off guard.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.  *Sopok*: Bridge to sickbay.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>: *CO* Sopok here

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Sopok*: If we get into battle and I need E'Laina on the bridge, will she be able to perform her duty in a pinch?

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>*CO*: If she is following orders, I doubt it. She'll either be deep in meditation or in a deep REM sleep

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
$Ts_FCO: I want you to bring us out of warp right on their proverbial doorstep.  I want that second spread to be fired from near point blank range.  Once that has happened, jump us into warp a second time.  It might be hard on the engines, but it’s a gamble that I am willing to take.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Great.  *CMO*: OK.  Bridge out.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: We have a fix on the enemy fleet?

OPS-Anari says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Good initiative, Bodine.  Let me know of a bearing ASAP.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
$Ts_FCO: Just one thing, when you jump us into the Picard maneuver, Make sure we go off to the side of where our own torpedoes go.  I don’t want to come out of warp and be hit by our own weapons!

FCO_Vince says:
#<R_TO>  FCO:  I'm having the same trouble

Host Gilles says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@<A_CTO> XO:  Sir, targeting scanners cannot get a lock on an individual ship ...

FCO_Vince says:
#R_TO:  Then focus on a manual selected set of coords, you're discretion, and fire everything

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@A_CTO:  Find a shield emitter and fire at it!  Surely you can do that!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
$Ts_FCO: Be ready with the Picard maneuver.  We will only get one chance to do it, and that chance can come up very quickly and disappear just as fast.
